We’re dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized healthcare through the direct primary care model. With a low monthly fee, we strip away the middlemen (insurance and healthcare administrators) and bring the focus back to patient care. You get more relaxed visits, which is more time with your provider and more time for your provider to think about your care — even when you are not in the office.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a model of value based healthcare that allows the patient (you) better access and a more personal relationship with your healthcare provider. DPC takes healthcare back to its roots. By charging a monthly membership fee, we take the insurance company and big health system administrations out of the equation. That is the secret. This means less paperwork, less outside interference, open scheduling, no co-pays and upfront pricing. This way we are able to spend more time to ensure you are getting the most individualized care while saving you money.
